Het is te laat, je hebt de Nederlanders opgeroepen, makker. Bereid je voor op k o l o n i s a t i e.
spoiler
It is too late, you summoned the Dutch, mate. Prepare to be c o l o n i s e d.Do you implement your healthcare system in your colonies? Also how likely are the colonizers to marry the locals and produce tall offspring?
Asking for a friend.
First question: no, best we can do is force you to build dykes.
Second question: we wouldn’t actually visit you, we would hire your neighbors to subdue you.

Then again, this being Lemmy maybe you meant it as written!
Both spellings can mean wall for holding back water, and things spelled with a "y" are 20% cooler.
Dutch one is still semi private
How does "opgeroepen" translate to "summoned"??? It's clearly "aufgerufen" - i.e. "invoked". Smh my head.
As in all such matters, it is the German version which is wrong
I just read it as "called up", though granted Dutch ain't my first language (or even second),
